James Franco was still rocking braids in his hair while cameras were focused on his shirtless frame in Tampa today. The actor was joined by bikini-clad Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Benson on the beach set of their heist flick, Spring Breakers. The girls have been modeling an assortment of skimpy outfits for the past two weeks while James just joined them on location in Florida.

So far, we've seen James wielding a gun and driving a pimped-out ride, and now he can add rapping to the list of activities his character, Alien, gets into. James has gone gangster for the role, but it turns out he's not channeling his inner K-Fed and instead based the look on former MTV rap star Riff Raff.
